Ruth Mae Foote
1942-2024
It is with
fond memories in mind that the friends and family of Ruth Mae Foote
announce her passing on April 20, 2024 in Valley Regional Hospital.
Born on September 20, 1942 at the BFM Hospital in Kentville NS she was
a daughter of the late Ralph and Mildred (Balsor) Foote. Ruth, or
Ruthie as the family knew her had three brothers (Murray, Ray and
Gerald) and two sisters (Olive and Carrie). She worked at United
Elastic Ltd. in Bridgetown before settling into her career at Acadia
University where she worked in the school bookstore for many years and
then for the town of Wolfville as a crossing guard.
After the passing of
her father, Ruth lived for many years with her mother tending to her
needs until her passing. It wasn’t until later in her life
that Ruth met her longtime companion James (Jim) at Acadia where they
both worked. Together they led a very quiet and private life but were
very happy together. They enjoyed hobbies together like going for
drives and creating model train sets – of which they had a wonderful
collection.
Ruth was predeceased
by her partner Jim, both of her parents, and all of her siblings
– her brother Murray tragically died as a child due to
complications of diabetes. Being the last surviving member of her
immediate family, Ruth (and Jim) were very lucky to have such a
wonderful relationship with their neighbours, Janice and Michael. To
say they had a unique relationship would be an understatement and
Ruth’s family would like to express our immense gratitude
for the many, many things they have helped Ruth with over her last few
years as we were not able to be there for her as we would have liked
to have been!
Although leading a
quiet and somewhat private life, Ruthie leaves behind her niece,
nephews, great nieces, and great nephews who all have fond memories of
things like car rides to the valley with her sisters and mom; some
fun-loving teasing of her great niece that shared her same birthday
«saying it’s not your birthday, it’s
mine» and then she would just giggle; her love of a little junk
food and Pepsi …. or just a chat on the phone with her
niece Shirley. Ruth had a good and peaceful life and passed on knowing
that she was loved.
As per Ruth’s wishes,
there will be no visitation. Burial will take place after a short
graveside service with family and close friends in Hillaton
Cemetery on Friday April 26, 2024, at 11:00
a.m. with Rev. Gary Manthorne to officiate.
Donations in
Ruth’s memory may be made to VON Annapolis Valley or the
Acadia University bookstore. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted
to the White Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, Kentville.
